• Speed XP Virtual Machine with disk SSD/Velociraptor/7200 RPM EVEN!

  Hi all -

  Recently I decided that I was tired of waiting for one of my XP VM to boot. He took ~6.5 minutes, at the time where all services started and everything and I've been to a logon screen. I have a Velociraptor that my (clean install of Windows 7 x 64 RC1) operating system was turned on, so I bought an SSD, installed and copied my my 7200 RPM WD Caviar Black VMs to the SSD. Naturally, I was not impressed by the results of the tests AT ALL. I saw the following:

  • Operating system loaded on Velociraptor, VM XP on WD Caviar= 6.5 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  • Operating system loaded on Velociraptor, VM on SSD= 6.25 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  • Operating system loaded on SSD, VM on Velociraptor= 6.5 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  This seems really strange, since all the posts that I read is the drive faster, faster operates the VMWare VM / fastest. Throw into the mix that the portable original that this virtual machine has been converted will start in about 3.25 minutes (IBM T42, Celeron CPU @ 1.70 GHz, 2 GB RAM) and something seems really wrong...

  I had markers with crystal drive and I'm getting great flow on the SSD; readings are really quick, / writing sucks, as expected.  I also notice that my boot time host o/s, Office, race etc. faster.  I really expected increases in day/night performance here on my virtual machine, not more of the same for disk SSD $200...

  By the way, I have dedicated 2 GB of RAM to this VM XP and have only run with a single processor.  And before anyone asks: no, I can not improved this virtual machine to Vista/Windows 7, due to restrictions on IT.

  So, my questions for the group here are:

  1. Is there something special I need to do to make the more attentive virtual machine?  The main thing that I hear, it is to throw as much RAM and disk speed, you can him... obviously, I did... and no, dedicate 3 GB, 4 GB of RAM doesn't help, either. I already tried...

  2. My VM has a single disk (~ 42GB).  Would I have noticed no improvement in speed, dividing the disk (in pieces of 2GB)?

  3. I see the best performance by using a dedicated hard drive controller (Vs the edge)?

  4. If I see the best performance with a hard disk controller dedicated, he's more intelligent RAID 0 two Velociraptors or two SSD performance for VMWare?

  I am willing to spend money on a controller or another SSD or Velociraptor (or a controller and another drive), I don't want to feel like I am wasting time and $$$ trying to achieve a performance that cannot be established in VMWare.

  My features of the platform are:

  • Operating systems: Windows 7 x 64 RC1 (fresh installs for all tests)

  • CPU: C2D E6750-2.67 GHz

  • RAM: 8 GB RAM

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3L (Southbridge: ICH9)

  • Storage:

  • Corsair Extreme Series CMFSSD - 1 64 64 GB 2.5 "SATA II MLC (contains the OS)

  • Western Digital Velociraptor 150 GB (contains virtual machines)

  • Western Digital Caviar Black 1.0 TB (General store)

  Thank you, in advance, for all your comments.

  @ noirfan1:

  Re: #1: OK, it used to take me more than an hour to perform a scan on demand with the vmdk files stored on a 1 TB western digital 7200 RPM drive.  When I moved to an SSD (60 GB Supertalent) vmdk files time has decreased to the point where the total scan time less than 8 minutes.

  Re: #2: OK, I think that there may be a service startup time, driver, or a process that can be hung up the system which is not related to disk IO.

  Re: #3: If you use the same .vm * exact files on two different systems and see a big difference in time of start, check and confirm that the virtual machine configuration settings are identical.  An example would be to have the virtual CD-ROM connected to an ISO on a network share and have the virtual CD-ROM disconnected from each other.

  A good test in the strict sense for the disk performance is to create clean XP install on the raptor and the DSS, and compare boot times in this way.  I'm not too familiar with the SSD Corsair you mention, but it should be faster.  Beware if it is based on the Jmicron controller (they are known to have huge problems with the random read performance) instead of a controller Indilinx Barefoot or Intel.

  Another test of the performance of the hard drive could run iometer inside each virtual machine to check the raw performance of io.  HD tune is another tool, that you can use for an easier test.

  I hope this helps.

• Update disk SSD - compatibility with Latitude E6420 - E6430

  Hi team,

  My question is this:

  Is it possible to upgrade the Latitude E6420 - E6430 of a HARD single on an SSD drive?

  Technically, I know it's possible, but several subcontractors of Dell technicians are there a lot of problems with this upgrade.

  Indeed, in my business, we did this upgrade on an E6430 yesterday for a client of the beta. This morning, this customer called me to report that after laptop turned on, the display shows "No found boot device".

  Are you aware of these problems?

  Thank you

  Max

  I m having exactly the same problem, after having cloned my SSD HARD drive and attempt to replace the device in my Latitude 6420 - following the Exchange, I get this screen:

  "No found boot device. Press a key to reboot the machine.

  After the previous posts:

  "PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable,

  and

  "PXE - M0F: exit Intel Boot Agent."

  Max, did you ever find a way to solve this problem?  I would be grateful, as the answers below don't seem to address the problem I faced.
  Thanks a lot - to anyone with your comments here!

• Upgrade memory and disk SSD Qosmio F50-108

  Hello!

  After 3 years, I decided to upgrade my [Qosmio F50 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 055727 & DISC_MODEL = 1] new SSD and additional memory.

  With a drive, I'm pretty well agreed the [Intel 320 120 GB SSD | http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-320-series.html], unless you recommend something different maybe?

  But I have the problem before deciding what size memory to take. Now, I 3 072 (2 048 + 1 024) MB DDR2 (800 MHz), and CPU - z says it runs in mode dual channel with timings 6-6-6-18(on memory stick it says 6-6-6-12?). I watched [Patriot DDR2 SO-DIMM 4 GB 800 MHz | 787 http://patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=3&catid=33&prodgroupid=59&id= & type = 5], and he said just in time of latency case 6. I have not found on the internet what timings there so I have a question:

  If I buy 1 (one) memory stick (Patriot) and replace it with 1 GB stick in laptop, old 2 GB + 4 GB new work in dual channel, or do I have to buy 2 x 4 GB (Patriot)?

  If this does not work, you rather 6 GB with channel single or dual channel 4 GB.

  Thanks for all the answers!

  > I pretty much agreed with drive, Intel 320 120 GB SSD, unless you recommend something different maybe?

  I think it shouldn't be a big problem with the compatibility because the HARD disk controller supports the SATA interface and the SATA SSD drive should also be compatible.

  > If I buy 1 (one) memory stick (Patriot) and replace it with 1 GB stick in laptop, old 2 GB + 4 GB new work in dual channel, or do I have to buy 2 x 4 GB (Patriot)?

  Dual Channel does not require two execatly the same memory modules.

  So, theoretically, you can use a module of RAM 2 GB and 4 GB RAM module.
  I advise to use 4 GB of RAM in A slot and 2 GB of RAM in slot B

  But the two modules must supports the same speed (800 Mhz), otherwise the module more quickly would be pointing down.

• The distribution of applications and data between the disk SSD and HDD

  I recently installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro (late 2011) instead of the DVD player. I want to install OS X on it, by replacing the current OS X on the original hard disk, I will continue to use for storing files. How should I allocate its use in car? OS X and applications on the data files on the hard disk of 500 GB and SSD?

  The first series of instructions will partition and format the newly installed SSD disk then install OS X on it. The second block will help you configure OS X on the SSD with your data on the HARD drive.

  Clean Install of El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

• Satellite U300-130 - new compatibility of SSD

  Hello

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U300-130 (PSU30E-03D01GPL) and I need to replace my original HDD (Toshiba MK2035GSS) Player.

  I thought about buying the SDS disc this time. V300 120 GB or Plextor M5S 128 GB Kingston

  Are they compatible with my laptop?
  With side s no problem but what about interface?

  Kingston has SATA Rev 3.0 (6 Gb/s) with backward compatibility SATA Rev 2.0.
  TOSHIBA MK2035GSS HARD drive has ATA-7/SATA1.0a/SATAII1.2 interface.

  My laptop does support SATA II and it will work with Kingston V300 without any problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > Are they compatible with my laptop?
  Generally you will be able to use any SATA 2.5 SSD drive.
  I upgraded my laptop with a series of SSD Samsung 840 250 GB.
  But I don get t the full performance since my laptop computer s controller supports only SATA II (3 Gb/s), but it is no problem to recognize the SSD drive.

  > My laptop is supports SATA II, and it will work with Kingston V300 without any problem?
  Install a tool of diagnosis of hardware called Sisoft SANDRA and you will get details on your controller.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• What disk SSD can I use in Qosmio X 500

  I want to install (approx. 128G) SSD drive in my Toshiba X 500, it has an Intel PM55 chipset.
  What SSD you recommended to me or where I can find the list of SSD compatibility for it?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  To my knowledge, there is no a compatibility chart.
  The laptop supports the interface and common SATA controller.
  So you can use any 2.5 SATA SSD drive
  It should be compatible in some cases the drive manufacturers SSD also provides an update of the firmware if a compatibility issue would appear.

• Compatibility of SSDS on IdeaPad laptops

  Hello

  There are a few posts on the SSD, but none that has answered my question and proposed general guidelines. That is why this thread.

  1.)

  How determine if their laptop model is compatible with a particular SSD?

  2.)

  I have an Ideapad y560p and I want to know if Intel 530 series 250 GB 2.5 inch ssdl or kingston hyperX 3K 240 sata iii SSD will be compatible with my laptop before I actually go ahead a buy a!

  I asked the support of lenovo and they said y560p are not compatible with any SSD either, but I know that to some have swapped their drive hard y560p for SSD.

  Thanks for your answer in advance!

  The best

  YOG

  The best way to choose an SSD is to choose by yourself with a bit of reading the situation on the evolution of the SSD market all the time with new controllers, new memory chips and so on. You must enter some comments and comparisons of recent SSDS and choose what suits your taste and your wallet best. Note, that in normal use you won't see much difference between most SSDS modern (except of course by markers). Even my 250GB 2.5 "TLC Samsung 840, which certainly isn't top-spec, is speed of light compared to any disk including SSHD.

  As long as the drive you look at is size 2.5 "SATA connector, it will work. There are other things that you should consider what your laptop SATA revision supports and does support features like AHCI, NCQ, TRIM, but it will affect not the ability to use it. It will affect the speed and reliability of your SSD.

  In addition, your laptop is Sandy Bridge, is certainly not old. I used SSD on a laptop of 2006 with Merom C2D. You shouldn't have any problems running any modern SSDs, including 240 GB Crucial or Kingston.

  What I recommend is that you choose one that is reliable. As I said before you will be carried away by the speed everything that you choose. However, you will regret your decision, when your player will stop after a few months without apparent reason. It's the brand, duration of security and reputation comes in. I'm not walked SSD recently, but I don't think that Kingston is considered such a brand.

• Program for caching disk ssd Y580

  Currently I have my OS installed on my 32 GB SSD - drive on the lenovo y580. Recently, I discovered that I shouldn't have installed here, but the HARD drive disk and use the SSD to cache. What program should I use for caching because Y580 is not supported RAID. And when my OS on the SSD, should I just re - install on the HARD disk drive. But I have some personal data like pictures, movies, music, and documents on the HARD drive. If I install windows then I lose them. They are important to me!

  Hello

  Here's the solution provided on article

  You will need to erase the SSD partitions, so you will need to have your operating system installed on the HARD drive first.

  To resolve this issue, first delete the primary partition on the mSATA SSD and then install the ExpressCache software. The ExpressCache Setup will automatically create the necessary partition cached on the mSATA SSD.

  1. Open the Start Menu, type DiskMgmt.msc and press ENTER to start the Disk Manager.
  
  
  2. At the bottom of the disk management window, identify the mSATA SSD device. The mSATA SSD 16 GB is 14,91 GB. The mSATA SSD 32 GB is 29,82 GB.
  
  
  3. The mSATA SSD can contain a 'Data2' score with a D: or E: drive letter. If so, check for any saved files on the device. If the files exist, you can move them to the C:\ drive.
  
  
  4. Delete the primary Partition on the mSATA SSD by right-click on it and choose 'remove the Volume '.... "in the menu that appears. Click 'Yes' to confirm the action.
  
  
  5. There are at least 29GB of unallocated on the mSATA SSD space.
  
  
  6. Download ExpressCache from the following link that corresponds to the installation of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit):
  
  
  • 32-bit Windows 7
  
  
  • 64-bit Windows 7
  
  
  1. Install ExpressCache by double-clicking the installation file downloaded in step 6 and follow the on-screen instructions. Reboot as prompted.

• ENVY dv7-7390el: problem with installation of a 2nd disk (SSD)

  Hello everyone.

  I want to put a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (dv7-7390el ENVY). It's a Samsung SSD (model: 850 PRO - 512 GB of RAM).

  However, even if I did first initialization with USB cable because it is new, when I link the new component using its cable to the motherboard port 2nd HARD drive and that I turn on the laptop it does not detect anything.

  In any case, I also tried to put a different device, another HARD disk, but the problem is the same, it is nowhere.

  How can I do to find it and then use it? Could someone help me?

  Concerning

  OK, I had a slightly newer model that is very similar, the series of 17 t - j000 want and also got a second basket of newmodeus.com. It finally worked but the anchor of the water was very small and it took 2 or 3 tries to get the systΦme can recognize the second hard drive. You must host the cable 'so '. If you do not have it HP or newmodeus.com I'd be skeptical on the cable.

• Update XP, Vista and win7 PC with disk ssd

  Hello

  I have 3 computers with XP, Vista and Win7.

  I wonder if computers laptops XP and Vista (sata) will be able to get the most out of the SSD HDD?
  The sine qua non of not losing a lot of performance, is that the bios ahci mode available for hard disk?
  Is there something else?
  Some older computers, laptops and desktops may not use a SSD HDD?

  I have an external SATA enclosure for a disk hard 2.5 "regular who was not particularly to adapt to an SSD HDD. It fit? I'm wanting to copy the contents of all of the hard drive to the hard drives(xp,vista,win7) on the new discs, including the hidden partition which has the OS on it with something like Norton ghost or acronis true image software. Are there suggestions which we use, and which cable (what is a sata to usb cable?) do I need for the migration if I use a laptop computer to copy these disks?

  Does anyone have any suggestions of what SSD to use? I'm looking for a 120gig SATA 3 with faster speeds.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  3 SSD have more fast read and write times when they are installed in PCs that use the latest SATA 3 interface. You may be able to search online by using your favorite search engine to know the different manufacturers.

  SATA cables would be also faster to transfer the data.

  Well, tell me how it works,

  I have dell inspiron 15z with 500 GB hard drive with laptop want to exchange it to 120 GB ssd, but I can't because no media to reinstall and the whole system is on hard Bank...

  I tried to do with software usb recovery dell preinstaled originally, but when I start to install the ssd system it gives me the error message that the new hard disk must be at least 465 GB

  I tried to copy the partition that I tried to do the recovery with another software image, it simply does not. When I tried to install win from another cd that he refuses the number series, even when I used the same version. instead of this test of dell to kill my mood why don't they have just not preparing the software backup and restore Dell to facilitate the use and for SSDS too?

  I would gladly appreciate any help

  Hi Thomiq,

  The backup and restore software would seek similar configuration during the restoration. If the hardware is changed the original image may not work.

  At this point, I see that you will need the operating system disc to reinstall it on the SSD drive. Please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered during the system purchase and email address so that I can check out what we can do.

• Virtual MACHINE disk SSD and SATA III?

  Hello

  I am building a new workstation tech support and will greatly appreciate your advice:

  In short, I am migrating from a 92 GB 32-bit Win7 with the only platform of RAM 4 GB, for a Win8 - 64 bit with 32 GB of RAM platform. From experience, I know that it will take months of "free time" until I can complete installation, configuration, data migration and upgrade of all Win8 software I need to run my business on a daily basis. In terms of continuity of activity for the moment, my way of thinking is to:

  Install a fresh Win8 64-bit in a C: partition of 125 GB on a new 250 GB SSD.

  Create logical partition D: on the remaining 125 GB SSD.

  I'll then P2V old Win7 on a new VM VMware on the D: partition.

  BTW, I'm not looking for methodology on the mechanics of the P2V here, because it is beyond the scope of this post and I know how to do this with the VMware products and 3rd party utilities.

  This should help:

  1. gradually get the host physical Win8 upward and entirely configured at my convenience, being able to continue to run Win7 in the VM for my daily activities.

  2. enjoy benefits and features of productivity which offers VMware Workstation on the competition.

  3. enjoy the impressive speed expected to have the VM Win7 on an SSD.

  4. several months from now when I need is more VM Win7 for daily activities, move the VM Win7 off the SSD (more than one pin SATA III), delete the D: partition out of the SSD and resize the partition of Win8 to use any DSS.

  If I do the migration of this way, Win8, I can do (part 3) full backups / incremental of Win8 C:partition and partition D: Win8 (which holds the VM Win7), the image separately as an activity based on required on these partitions. Yes, with the stop of the VM or suspended of course during imaging of 3rd party partition.

  The $64 questions are therefore:

  5. the sound that precedes like a plan?

  6. or, it would be better to just install Win8 on the SSD of 250 GB of space (with VMware Workstation installed of course) and put the VM Win7 on the pin SATA III that contains my other virtual machines? My 3rd party software Imaging allows full/incremental file, so I could just save the VM Win7 directory on this axis. I can see potential disk latency issues in this scenario, if I have the old VM Win7 running and at the same time also work on (for example) two guests Windows Server of pre-production with a few guests of Win7/Win8 (to test ERP software or question MSSQL). There are five virtual machines running on this SATA III 7200 RPM spindle.

  Sorry, that was so long. I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

  Kind regards...

  Personally speaking I use the SSD together as a single partition and have a low spindle drive where you can run your file exchange and the VM, it would be different if you were running multple VM and wanted that they have spun fast and enjoyable, but as it's a loophole to stop until you get all migrate by then I don't see why you want to divide the SSD.

  My MSI laptop has 2 SSD mSATA, the operating system of the House and a brooch my VM and file exchange and tbh I don't suffer at all with performance, I even was called to run virtual machines running (plural) from a device USB 3 instead.
